Indivisible on Trump’s Comments on Abortion: ‘Same old bullshit’
Washington, D.C. — Today, Ezra Levin, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, released the following statement following Trump’s recent comments on abortion:
“Trump’s garbled and confused message reaffirms what we already know: abortion is the GOP’s kryptonite. Trump bragged about ending Roe, embraced the state-level abortion bans across the country, and refused to oppose a national abortion ban that Republicans in congress are supporting. Knowing how bad the polling is for him and his side, Trump attempted to confuse the issue, but we know and voters know what’s in store for the country should Trump and MAGA win: a national abortion ban stretching from California to New York, passed by Republicans in the House and Senate and signed into law by Trump.
“The word ‘should’ does not appear in Trump’s statement. He made no new commitment and expressed no new change in policy. Trump’s message was simply a political messaging attempt at obfuscation and plausible deniability on the campaign trail - in word, it was bullshit. And we know this because the night before this statement, Trump himself told the world he had to issue a statement in order to win the election. When Trump tells us he’s full of shit, we should believe him.
“In contrast, Joe Biden has promised to sign federal abortion protections into law and veto any proposed national abortion ban. In states like Arizona and Florida, where abortion rights are sure to be top of mind, Indivisibles will make sure voters know where the candidates at the top of the ticket stand.”
